Macron Sends CHILLING Warning to Putin |France to Double Defence Budget To €64Bn Amid Russia Threat
French President Emmanuel Macron has issued a dire warning about the security of Europe, calling the current geopolitical climate the gravest threat since World War II.
In a hard-hitting speech on the eve of Bastille Day, Macron announced a dramatic increase in France's defence budget, vowing to double it to €64 billion by 2027—three years ahead of schedule.
He cited Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, rising nuclear threats, and unpredictable U.S. policy as key concerns.
“To be free, you must be feared,” he declared, reinforcing his belief in strength through military power.
France’s top general also claimed Russia now views France as its top European adversary.
As tensions soar and NATO pushes for 5% GDP defence spending, Macron’s move marks a strategic pivot to prepare France and Europe for a potentially volatile decade.
The plan awaits approval, but the message is clear—Europe must act now or risk losing its standing.
Paris erupted in anger as pro-Palestinian protesters carried plastic skeletons, baby shrouds, and peace doves to expose Israel’s Gaza famine and ongoing genocide. Chants of “Israel get out, Palestine is not yours” echoed across the French capital. Demonstrators accused Israel of war crimes, condemned the killing of journalists, and demanded sanctions and urgent humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron backed a two-state solution under rising international pressure. With nearly 63,000 Palestinians killed since October 2023, the streets of Paris sent a clear message: the world will not stay silent.

World powers are aligning against the U.S. as Trump’s aggressive tariff policies fuel backlash. At the upcoming SCO summit in China, leaders including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Narendra Modi will present a united front against Western dominance. Trump’s penalties on India and Brazil have only pushed them closer to the anti-Western bloc, with Russia emerging as the common thread binding these nations. Experts warn that tariffs may not only damage U.S. economic ties but also accelerate the rise of a multipolar world order.

A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic. “How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked. The confrontation came just before Meloni, Macron, and other leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment. Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III.

As Donald Trump pushes for a three-way peace meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for Europe to be included. Macron argues that security guarantees for Ukraine also affect the entire continent. While Trump seems unlikely to welcome the idea soon, the debate highlights the high stakes for not only Ukraine but also Europe’s security. The talks could shape the trajectory of the war and the balance of power across the region.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will stand alongside Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping at Beijing’s massive “Victory Day” military parade next week, marking a rare international appearance for the reclusive leader. China’s foreign ministry confirmed Kim’s attendance, calling it a symbol of the nations’ “traditional friendship.” The parade, marking 80 years since China’s war against Japan and the end of World War Two, will showcase thousands of troops, tanks, aircraft, and new anti-drone systems. For Xi, hosting Kim and Putin in Beijing is a major diplomatic win, signaling China’s central role in global geopolitics at a time when US President Donald Trump pushes for talks with both leaders. South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung has also been invited, raising the possibility of a rare North-South encounter. The spectacle will be closely watched as China displays power and positions itself as the key player in Asia’s balance of power.

In a move set to escalate the conflict, the United States has approved the sale of 3,350 air-launched ERAM cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal. With a range of up to 280 miles, the missiles could enable Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. Deliveries are expected by the end of 2025, though some shipments may arrive in just six weeks. Reports indicate Ukraine will need Pentagon approval before launching the weapons. President Donald Trump, who previously criticized unconditional aid to Kyiv, recently warned Ukraine has “no chance of winning” without long-range strike capability. NATO allies, especially France and Germany, are backing further weapons deliveries as part of post-war security guarantees, even as Russia insists Western military aid blocks peace. The missile deal highlights the growing stakes in Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a significant boost to France’s defense budget, citing Russia as the primary threat to national and European security. Speaking ahead of Bastille Day, Macron warned that freedom hasn’t faced such a dire threat since 1945.

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are escalating as U.S. jets intercepted a Russian IL-20 “Coot” spy plane near Alaska’s Air Defense Identification Zone. NORAD scrambled an E-3 Sentry, F-16 fighters, and a KC-135 tanker to monitor the aircraft, marking the fourth Russian reconnaissance flight in a week. Though Moscow’s planes remained in international airspace, repeated incursions follow Putin’s recent meeting with Trump, fueling speculation of deliberate provocations. With rising hostilities, analysts warn the standoff could spiral toward a World War 3 flashpoint.

In a dramatic turn, the Kremlin has called for details of Ukraine peace talks to remain strictly confidential. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that public debate could derail negotiations, stressing that secrecy is key to results. Analysts believe Putin is wary of European leaders—who have pledged strong security guarantees to Kyiv—and instead trusts Donald Trump as a “better negotiator.” Following Trump’s meetings with both Putin and Zelensky, speculation mounts: is Moscow sidelining Europe to cut a Trump-driven deal over Ukraine?
